Poly (N-vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) groups were grafted onto a poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroryvalerate) (PHBV) backbone in order to modify its properties and synthesize a novel biocompatible copolymer. The crystallization behavior of PHBV and grafted PHBV was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and polarized optical microscopy (POM). During the cooling-induced crystallization process, the crystallization temperature and the crystallization rate of the grafted PHBV decreased with increasing PVP weight fraction. On the heating scans of all grafted PHBV samples, a new crystallization exothermic peak appeared at almost the same temperature, suggesting the operation of a recrystallization process, while the melting temperature ($T_m$) and the apparent enthalpy of fusion (${\Delta}H_f$) were not affected by graft modification. During the isothermal crystallization process at the same temperature, the presence of side PVP groups decreased the spherulitic growth rate and the spherulitic band spacing with increasing PVP weight fraction in samples.

MnBi alloys were fabricated by arc melting and annealing at 573 K. The heat treatment enhanced the content of the low-temperature phase (LTP) of MnBi up to 83 wt%. The Bi-excess assisted LTP MnBi alloys were used in the hybridization with the Nd-Fe-B commercial Magnequench ribbons to form the hybrid magnets (100-x)NdFeB/xMnBi, x = 20, 30, 40, 50, and 80 wt%. The as-milled powder mixtures of Nd-Fe-B and MnBi were aligned in a magnetic field of 18 kOe and warm-compacted to anisotropic and dense bulk magnets at 573 K by 2,000 psi for 10 min. The magnetic ordering of two hard phase components strengthened by the exchange coupling enhanced the Curie temperature ($T_c$) of the magnet in comparison to that of the powder mixture sample. The prepared hybrid magnets were highly anisotropic with the ratio $M_r/M_s$ > 0.8. The exchange coupling was high, and the coercivity $_iH_c$ of the magnets was ~11-13 kOe. The maximum value of the energy product $(BH)_{max}$ was 8.4 MGOe for the magnet with x = 30%. The preparation of MnBi alloys and hybrid magnets are discussed in details.

새로운 poly(tetramethylene 2,6-(naphthaloyldioxy)dibenzoates)(TLCP) 블록과 poly (butylene 2,6-naphthalate)(PBN) 블록으로 구성된 열방성 블록공중합체(TLCP-b-PBN)를 용액중합에 의하여 합성하였고, in-situ 복합재료를 제조하기 위해서 poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN)과 용응블렌드하였다. TLCP domain은 용융상태에서 네마틱 상을 보여 주었다. 블록공중합체는 DSC 열곡선에서 PBN과 TLCP domain에 해당되는 두 개의 뚜렷한 용응전이점을 보여 주었다. 블렌드내의 PEN의 유리전이온도 ($T_g$)는 TLCP-b-PBN의 함량에 따라 감소하였으며, TLCP-b-PBN은 매트릭스 고분자에 대한 기핵제로 작용하였다. 편광현미경 관찰결과 20% TLCP-b-PBN 블렌드 경우 PEN의 용융점이상 온도에서 잘 배향된 TLCP fibril을 볼 수 있었다. 압출된 블렌드를 액체질소내에서 절단하여 전자현미경을 이용하여 모폴로지를 관찰한 결과 TLCP domain은 $0.15{\mu}m$에서 $0.2{\mu}m$ 크기로 균일하게 분포되어 있음을 확인하였다. 매트릭스 곡분자와 TLCP와의 계면접착력은 비교적 좋았으며, 매트릭스 고분자내의 TLCP domain은 중앙에서는 구형의 모양을, 표면에서는 가늘게 배향된 섬유 모양을 보였다.

Cleansing foam이라 불리는 지방산 칼륨 cream soap은 crystal gel 구조로 이루어져 있어 유화계와는 달리 전단응력에 약하며 고온의 보관조건에서 쉽게 분리되는 특성을 보여준다. Crystal gel 구조는 지방산의 종류 및 비율, 중화도, polyol의 종류와 사용량에 따라 크게 영향을 받는다. Crystal gel 구조에 미치는 이들의 영향을 조사하기 위해 water/potassium hydroxide (KOH)/fatty acid ternary system에서 실험을 실시하였다. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) 측정 결과 myristic acid (MA) : stearic acid (SA) = 3 : 1 비율에서 공융점(eutectic point)를 갖고 이 혼합비가 가장 안전한 삼성분계(ternary system)를 만든다는 것을 발견했다. 점도 측정과 편광현미경 (POM) 관찰 결과 중화도는 75% 부근이 최적이라고 판단된다. 삼성분계의 melting point (T_m)이 보관온도보다 높을 때, 그리고 crystal phase가 lamellar gel phase로 상 전이가 일어날 때 안정하나 지방산 함량의 증가는 안정성에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는다. 삼성분계에 polyol의 첨가는 T_m을 변화시키고 상전이를 일으키는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 클렌징폼의 구조는 저온 주사전자현미경 (Cryo-SEM), 소각 및 광각 X-선 산란 (SAXS, WAXS) 분석으로 규명하였다. Butylene glycol (BG), propylene glycol (PG), dipropylene glycol (DPG)은 T_m을 낮추어주며 lamellar gel phase 형성을 어렵게 하는 반면 glycerin, PEG-400, sorbitol은 T_m을 상승시키고 lamellar gel phase 형성을 용이하게 하며 안정한 삼성분계를 만든다.

The potential polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA)-producing bacteria, Bacillus megaterium PP-10, was successfully isolated and studied its feasibility for utilization of pineapple peel waste (PPW) as a cheap carbon substrate. The PPW was pretreated with 1% (v/v) H₂SO₄ under steam sterilization and about 26.4 g/l of total reducing sugar (TRS) in pineapple peel hydrolysate (PPH) was generated and main fermentable sugars were glucose and fructose. A maximum cell growth and PHA concentration of 3.63 ± 0.07 g/l and 1.98 ± 0.09 g/l (about 54.58 ± 2.39%DCW) were received in only 12 h when grown in PPH. Interestingly, PHA productivity and biomass yield (Y_x/s) in PPH was about 4 times and 1.5 times higher than in glucose. To achieve the highest DCW and PHA production, the optimal culture conditions e.g. carbon to nitrogen ratios of 40 mole/mole, incubation temperature at 35℃ and shaking speed of 200 rpm were performed and a maximum DCW up to 4.24 ± 0.04 g/l and PHA concentration of 2.68 ± 0.02 g/l (61% DCW) were obtained. The produced PHA was further examined its monomer composition and found to contain only 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB). This finding corresponded with the presence of class IV PHA synthase gene. Finally, certain thermal properties of the produced PHA i.e. the melting temperature (T_m) and the glass transition temperature (T_g) were about 176℃ and -4℃, respectively whereas the M_w was about 1.07 KDa ; therefore, the newly isolated B. megaterium PP-10 is a promising bacterial candidate for the efficient conversion of low-cost PPH to PHA.

SnSe single crystal showed a high thermoelectric zT of 2.6 at 923 K mainly due to an extremely low thermal conductivity $0.23W\;m^{-1}\;K^{-1}$. It has anisotropic crystal structure resulting in deterioration of thermoelectric performance in polycrystalline SnSe, providing a low zT of 0.6 and 0.8 for Ag and Na-doped SnSe, respectively. Here, we presented the thermoelectric properties on the K-doped $K_xSn_{1-x}Se$ (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.5, and 2.0%) polycrystals, synthesized by a high-temperature melting and hot-press sintering with annealing process. The K-doping in SnSe efficiently enhances the hole carrier concentration without significant degradation of carrier mobility. We find that there exist widespread Se-rich precipitates, inducing strong phonon scattering and thus resulting in a very low thermal conductivity. Due to low thermal conductivity and moderate power factor, the $K_{0.001}Sn_{0.999}Se$ sample shows an exceptionally high zT of 1.11 at 823 K which is significantly enhanced value in polycrystalline compounds.

Starch was isolated from turnip (Brassica rapa L.), and to elucidate the structure-function relationship its structural and physical properties were characterized. Morphological structure of the starch was analyzed by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). Most of the starch granules were spherical in shape with diameter ranging from 0.5-10mm. Apart from larger granules ($<10\;{\mu}m$) which dominated the population size of turnip starch, significant amount of small ($0.5-2\;{\mu}m$) and mid-size granules (${\sim}\;{\mu}m$) were also detected. It was revealed that presumably, erosion damages occurred due to the attack of amylase-type enzymes on the surface of some granules. Branch chain-length distribution was analyzed by HPAEC (High-Performance Anion-Exchange Chromatography). The chain-length distribution of turnip starch revealed a peak at DP12 with obvious shoulder at DP18-21. The weight-average chain length ($CL_{avg}$) was 16.6, and a large proportion (11.8%) of very short chains (DP6-9) was also observed. The melting properties of starch were determined by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry). The onset temperature ($T_o$) and the enthalpy change (${\Delta}H$) of starch gelatinization were $50.5^{\circ}C$ and 12.5 J/g, respectively. The ${\Delta}H$ of the retrograded turnip starch was 3.5 J/g, which indicates 28.2% of recrystallization. Larger proportion of short chains as well as smaller average chain-length can very well explain relatively lower degree of retrogradation in turnip starch.

For thermal adaptable fabrics, the polyurethane-urea microcapsules containing phase-change materials (PCMs: hexadecane, octadecane and eicosane) were successfully synthesized by interfacial polycondensation using 2,4-toluene diisocyanate (TDI)/poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG400)/ethylene diamine (EDA) as shell monomers and nonionic surfactant NP-12 in an emulsion system under stirring rates of $3,000{\sim}13,000$ rpm. The mean particle size of microcapsule decreased significantly with increasing the stirring rate up to 11,000 rpm, and then leveled off. The mean particle size increased with increasing the content and molecular weight (eicosane > octadecane > hexadecane) of PCMs at the same stirring rate. The mean particle sizes of microcapsules were found to decrease with increasing the NP-12 content up to 1.5 wt%, and thereafter increased a little. It was found that the melting temperature ($T_m$) and crystallization temperature ($T_c$) of three kinds of encapsulated PCMs and their enthalpy changes (${\Delta}H_m,{\Delta}H_c$) increased with increasing PCM contents. The encapsulation efficiencies (Ee) of hexadecane microcapsule linearly increased with increasing the content of hexadecane. It was found that the stable microcapsule containing 50 wt% of hexadecane could be obtained in this study. However, Ee of octadecane and eicosane microcapsules increased with increasing PCM's contents up to 40 wt%, and then decreased a little. By considering the encapsulation efficiency, it was found that the maximum/optimum contents of octadecane and eicosane microcapsules were about 40 wt%. By the dynamic thermal performance test, it was found that the maximum buffering levels of Nylon fabrics coated with hexadecane, octadecane, and eicosane microcapsules were about $-2.4/+2.9^{\circ}C,\;-3.6/+3.6^{\circ}C\;and\;-4.0/+4.7^{\circ}C$, respectively.
